Mayor Michael Bloomberg railed against the court system Friday, blaming lawsuits for railroading his agenda in his final term.
“We’ve got to do something about our court system. Because they just stop everything,” Mr. Bloomberg lamented during his weekly radio interview Friday morning with WOR’s John Gambling.
Mr. Gambling chimed in in agreement: “Everything gets stopped–everything the city does.”
“Every single thing,” Bloomberg echoed. “You just can’t run a railroad this way.”
NOTE TO MAYOR OF MONEY:
New York City is not a "railroad."
You do not get to "railroad" through whatever you want no matter the level of opposition in the city.
You do not get to break the law, circumvent the rules or do whatever the hell you want despite your billions.
It's true that we live in a mostly fake democracy, which his how some rich arrogant ass like yourself was able to buy 12 years of power.
But there are enough vestiges of democracy left that even a billionaire like yourself does not get everything he wants.
I suppose you can use Bloomberg Philanthropies to remedy this sort of thing once you leave office and start bludgeoning judges with your PAC money the way to you plan to bludgeon politicians who don't agree with you 100% on your policies.
But until you do, God bless the courts of law in this country.
They're about the only thing standing between NYC and totalitarianism.
